Nice. Thanks for sharing your picture. Now the real question, do you cash them in?

I have 2 of all 5 as well and no intentions of ever cashing them in.

Very nice! Viewed as a set, the coins make for an interesting and attractive collection.
I remember my reaction when the first coin was released.I found its design busy and difficult to "take in" as a whole because it was so different from the layout of a typical coin. Over time, I've come to appreciate the series' design approach more and find myself viewing the coins in a positive light (though, IMO, some of the artists who have created a design for the series have executed the concept better than others).
Thanks, as always, for sharing the great images and "Congrats!" on the nice collection.

Together the five make for a very impressive set, each one a unique collage, as illustrated by your consistently outstanding photographic skills. My only gripe is RCM pricing of $200 for a silver coin at just over 2oz. It seems they attach a hefty premium to the option of face value redemption. Edited by wildflowerAB

Hey Mikesnickname - I just bought a few boxes on ebay and went to our local craft store and bought a piece of 1/4" white foam. I then cut the foam to size and cut 5 holes the size of the $200 capsules. As I mentioned I did the same thing for the $50's and $100's but had enough space to cut 12 slots for 12 coins. |

i love your display of the 200/200 series. These are my favourites out of all the face value coins produced by the RCM and I have them all too!! Where did you get the wooden box with the red inlay? |

They are great and reach in the design. The wooden box - "2013 (or 2014) O Canada" ... but not sure about red inlay, I think I have black one. |
